About this care
Fantaziehuis 't Zand KDV is located in the heart of Park Groot Zandveld in Utrecht, where children can freely play and explore in a green, familiar environment. We are housed within the Brede School Het Zand, which allows for seamless transition to primary school and after-school care.
Our focus areas are nature & technology, culture and play. Children regularly receive visits from guest teachers for English lessons, music lessons or toddler gym. In this playful way, we enrich the children's world.
Our daycare facility offers 2 baby groups (0-2 years), 1 vertical group (0-4 years) and 1 toddler group (2-4 years). We are open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Every child is unique and together with our team, we ensure that each child has a comfortable place where they can play, learn and discover to their heart's content.
We work with themes and respond to current events. Our pedagogical staff create fun activities focused on child development, such as crafts, reading books or building together. Babies follow their own daily rhythm, coordinated with parents.
When dropping off, we take time for both child and parent. We love to hear if there are any special circumstances and provide personal feedback at the end of the day. This way, we create a warm and safe environment where children can develop optimally.Read more
